SXS80 2.5G LAN Ethernet Port 1 - Link speed limited to 1000 Mbps?
Hi, I am using a NAS (Synology DS1823xs+) that is connected via a CAT8 ethernet cable, from the NAS’ LAN 3 port (10GbE) to the LAN 1 port (2.5GbE) on a Netgear Orbi Pro 6 Satellite (SXS80) with the l...
FYI there is in fact a setting to change the WAN port speed (for the router, by switching between port 1-2), so it wouldn't be too farfetched to imagine there being a similar setting for the satellite. But as you point out, the link speed would normally be determined by auto-negotiation. So I am guessing the auto-negotiation on the Orbi simply doesn't work. Or perhaps the 2.5G LAN Port 1 on the Satellite was never capable of 2.5G to begin with (despite the documentation claiming that it is). UntilI I see someone show that their Insight device management page is actually reporting that port as "Link Speed: 2500M/Full" then I have my doubts 🙂
